Take my kid to work day

Who knew taking your kid to work could be a ton of fun?

Well, now I know. Taylor came to work with me last week for a day - and we had a blast. She really didn't get an accurate representation of what I do here on a daily basis because I really didn't do any work all day long...I wouldn't say I missed it though. We had a lot of fun playing games, running through the building doing a crossword scavenger hunt, finger painting a Ford Fiesta (yes, we painted the outside of 2 actual vehicles with finger paint), and completed some general mayhem and foolishness.

It was a great time and here is a few pictures they took while we were sitting in a Shelby Cobra...

Perils of riding in the backseat

Who knew riding in the backseat with Abram could get you a 'new style?'

look what might be in your rear view mirror

Who knew you could have a good looking cop car? Actually, I kind of think the Dodge Charger out there is pretty decent also - but of course I'm biased to this one more.

Check out the new Taurus! Ford just announced a new Police Cruise to replace the age old Crown Victoria that has been on the road forever. It's a revamped Taurus - and can also come with the ecoboost engine - yes, the same one in the Taurus SHO. Out running them isn't going to be easy anymore for sure (believe me, the SHO hauls). Here's a picture of what will be coming out next year and I'm sure will be on the roads quickly.

stronger than you look

Who knew you could pull through even when the odds were against you?

Ever feel like you are just trying to go about your day and do what you need to survive only to get caught and smacked like this video shows? Keep watching - apparently there is hope...

could be worse

Who knew there are times I wouldn't want to be driving a zamboni??? Guess they were right when they told me 'it could get worse.'

When I was a kid, my dad and I were sledding at a park by our house. The park had a pond near the bottom of the hill (we were sledding away from the pond - yes, I'm a genius). It was at night and was dark, and we were having a lot of fun. All of a sudden, we heard a 4 wheeler driving around - going through the fresh snow, up the hill and down. Next thing we knew...it looked something like the picture below and we saw the driver scrambling up the side. Once we knew he was safe, I have to admit we had ourselves a little chuckle...

Love it

Who knew you could say so much and so little at the same time?

I have a new favorite video...love it...I think I've heard a similar conversation before...

time flies

Who knew you could miss a ton by not reading other people's blogs????

So, work is fun...love it...a lot...but over the last few weeks, it has been seriously affected my goofing off time. It has affected it so much that I haven't even been able to read blogs lately. That's just unacceptable.

I did get the chance to read a few today (after all, we know work is a fancy place to surf the web) and was trying to catch up with as many as I could. I still have a way to go, but it was fun to at least feel like I knew what was going on a little bit.

Ahhh, nice to be back into the surfing world...even if it was only for 15 minutes...

b-day fun

Who knew you could still party when you were 88???

Here are a few pictures of my father's birthday party. Looks like we miss all the fun times being up here in sunny Michigan instead of Tucson...

results

Who knew pizza two nights in a row was a treat? How do you think I got through college?

We really liked the Domino's we had last night. To be fair, I always liked it anyway. The main difference to me was the crust - and you could tell the sauce was a little more 'robust' (to use their words). It was good - and we liked the $5.99 medium 2 topping pizza deal. Give it a shot and let me know what you think...

dominos

Who knew I'd know famous people on TV?!?!?!?!

So Domino's pizza has changed their pizza...and we're going to try it tonight (so excited by the way). We saw a 30 second commercial the other day and were like, "HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! WE KNOW THAT GUY!!!!" Of course, a little internet sleuthing and we found this commercial - which is the long version of the shorter ones on TV. Yes, our friend Phil is in the commercial...and we are so proud.
